Our 2022 Grand Marsha @mxviv rolled into town last

Our 2022 Grand Marsha @mxviv rolled into town last night and served up a sneak-preview number tonight’s Town Hall show along with @nathanncarrera to a sold-out audience at Provincetown Follies at @onlyatthecrown – DO NOT miss on seeing the queen of cabaret in her Town Hall premier tonight at 8:30PM 💎

Ptown.org/Carnival

We can’t for our next dose of Auntie Glam - see you tonight, kiddos…

Described as “the best cabaret artist of their generation” and a “tornado of art and activism,” those who have seen this trans icon on the Broadway stage, on screen (Shortbus, Can You Ever Forgive Me?, Sunset Stories,) television (High Maintenance, Difficult People, The Get Down), or at the nightclub/cabaret solo and as the immortal Kiki DuRane with Kiki & Herb, KNOW how they hold court, have the capability to transform audiences with their words, and have for many years shaped queer culture through activism and artistry — #GlamourIsResistance

We couldn’t be more excited to celebrate such a legend along with her incredible band Nath Ann Carrera @nathanncarrera , Claudia Chopek @chopes26 and Matt Ray @mattraymusic — we hope you’ll join us 🎀

There are only a FEW seats left at the legendary Provincetown Follies (the gayest show in town!) tonight at 10PM at @onlyatthecrown - BOOK NOW at onlyatthecrown.com

Our 2022 Grand Marshal and Carnival Headliner Mx Justin Vivian Bond @mxviv will now be making a SNEAK cameo appearance tonight (along with the gorgeously talented Nath Ann Carrera @nathanncarrera ) In addition to your Auntie Glam you will get a FULL dose of local celebrity talent including Jon Richardson @jonrichardsonmusic , Joao Santos @itsnotjohn , Yoli Mayor @yolimayor , Todd Alsup @toddalsup , Mackenzie @itsjustmackenzie , Qya Cristál @qyacristal and MORE!

This does mean the show will begin at approximately 10:15. However, we invite you to stay out of the rain and enjoy a pre show cocktail in The Wave Bar with Bright Light Bright Light! See you tonight, hope you’re ready for the ‘gayest show in town!’

CARNIVAL PARADE REGISTRATION DEADLINE IS NEXT WEEK

CARNIVAL PARADE REGISTRATION DEADLINE IS NEXT WEEK, JULY 29th 🗓⬅️🎊 Register at ptown.org/carnival

We know how swiftly summer slides on by, so while you start celebrating Girl Splash TODAY and take a breath from Bear Week, make sure to start planning for the weeks ahead with Carnival on the horizon…

We know businesses are short-staffed, and haven’t needed to allocate resources to the Parade over the past two years, but we truly hope the community will join hands in the relaunching Cape Cod’s largest single event. Since its inception in 1978, the Carnival Parade has helped to shape our community and has welcomed the LGBTQ+ family to the streets of Provincetown. Let’s make this year a Legendary comeback together!
